Margie, I may have posted a photo of my Butterfly, which was beautiful, bloomed and all of a sudden, 'puckered up', started dropping leaves, etc. I cannot swear, but I think someone mentioned brown or rust spots too and some of mine have that also, so I figure I have a pretty good case of broad mites. I thought the puckered leaves was sun/water damage, which started after my sweet hubby tried to help me by watering, at HIGH, HOT NOON, if you please, whew. I should have known, and next time or next year, I'm just going to start spraying early in the season, on a schedule, like Edna, the check out lady at the grocery, told me to do in the first place. Course, there are lots of things I'll do next year.... Attached is a picture of poor Butterfly, who looks like someone traded her beautiful leaves for spinach...
